Which information
Identify the request and what was refused in whole or in part.
Art. 276 · a right held by every person
Access to information
Access to public information should not depend on knowing the structure of the State. The constitutional proposal starts from a simple right: any person may request information under public control without having to prove citizenship, a personal interest or a reason.
Current limit. This page organises the path and the requirements for a valid response. No request is formally filed until the operational service is available and connected.

Request pathway
Request → search → respond → give reasons → review → appeal
The design prevents “we could not find it” or “it is classified” from ending the matter without a verifiable explanation.
RequestA simple request, with no requirement to state reasons and no identification beyond what is necessary.
SearchThe body must conduct a documented and reasonably comprehensive search.
RespondProvide the information, disclose it in part or explain the restriction.
Give reasonsLegal basis, concrete harm, proportionality and public-interest test.
ReviewThe Ombudsman conducts an independent administrative review.
AppealEffective judicial appeal remains available.
Verifiable response
What a refusal must explain
The authority restricting access bears the burden of showing that the restriction is lawful.
Which legal basis
Identify the applicable legal rule, not merely a generic secrecy label.
Which harm
Describe a real, demonstrable and identifiable risk arising from disclosure.
Why there is no less restrictive alternative
Consider partial disclosure, anonymisation or segregation.
Public interest
Explain how the concrete public interest in transparency was weighed.
How to seek review
Identify the responsible authority, the deadline/condition for review and the available means of appeal.
What may be published proactively
Competences, organisational charts, budget and execution, contracts and procurement, service criteria, statistics, audits, impact assessments, agendas and relevant decisions, and indexes of classified information, subject to legitimate exceptions.
What does not justify refusal by itself
Political embarrassment, possible criticism, administrative convenience, outsourcing, storage outside Candeia or a simple “classified” label.

No operational public filing is created on this page
The Transparency module in Candeia OS is currently an institutional demonstration interface. When the service is active and integrated, this page will route the request to the competent system without turning GOV into the official source.
Reference basis
This page explains the architecture contemplated by Candeia's proposed constitutional framework. The unpromulgated text remains the project's legal reference; the existence of a screen in Sistema Candeia does not create authority, a decision or an official act.
